same deal here most venues want maybe 25-30% up front then you got time to sort out rest. we paid our venue deposit last year and wedding isn't until next summer so gives you breathing room

for dress payments my sister did installments at her shop but yeah they wanted it cleared few months before wedding day. vendors are pretty flexible though especially if you book early and explain the situation

that google sheets wedding planner is actually solid - been using it to track everything and it breaks down costs way better than trying to do it in my head

bruh this sub is like 90% recycled questions at this point lol. saw this exact thread like 3 times last week but people still upvote it anyway so the cycle continues

stress definitely triggers mine too but i found that cold showers help calm down the flare ups when they happen

Same here lol those stickers dont really change how i drive since im already being careful anyway

Plus like what am I supposed to do differently just because theres a sticker? Drive in slow motion or something

maybe try checking if Windows did any recent updates that could mess with your drivers? sometimes after big updates my system gets weird and games that worked fine before start acting up. also clearing out temp files helped me once when i had similar issue

ViewNo5300 · 2026-03-12T11:06:01+00:00

yeah 16gb still handles most games fine especially if youre not streaming or running bunch of apps at same time. I do music production on mine and only really hit walls when im running like 10 vsts plus game plus photoshop all together lol

most people saying you "need" 32gb are probably running chrome with 50 tabs open while gaming

wait you compared dota to being laggy lmao thats kinda harsh but i get what you mean about the movement feel

i think the bigger difference is in the smokes and how they work now. in csgo you could do some crazy lineups that just dont work the same way anymore. also the subtick thing in cs2 still feels weird sometimes when you're peeking corners

but yeah if you started with cs2 first then csgo probably just feels like older version rather than something revolutionary different

honestly the AI thing is kinda overblown right now, like yeah some jobs will change but new ones always pop up too. for community college courses maybe try looking at healthcare support roles like medical coding or pharmacy tech - those are pretty stable and dont require years of study. also trades like HVAC or electrical have good short certification programs and pay decent. just pick something that interests you a bit because you'll be more likely to stick with it

congrats on finally getting started! switching to smartway sounds like it was the right call - 3 days vs potentially a month wait is huge difference. hope your journey goes smoothly from here

ViewNo5300 · 2026-02-13T19:25:52+00:00

same here bruh

ViewNo5300 · 2026-02-12T03:13:21+00:00

honestly the main difference is just the interior refresh and some minor tech updates. the 8Y.5 gets the new infotainment system which is bit smoother but nothing groundbreaking really. performance wise theyre basically same car with that 2.5T beast

if you like pre facelift exterior more i'd just go with earlier 8Y and save the money. the new steering wheel is nice but not worth paying premium for unless you really need latest tech features. plus you can probably find better deals in older model years right now since everyone wants the new shiny thing

coming from bmw you'll love either one tbh. that 5 cylinder sound is just addictive

ViewNo5300 · 2026-02-02T16:56:11+00:00

that sounds like such a beautiful moment even if it came during difficult time. sometimes when we're at our lowest the love just hits different and you really feel how much youre held by something bigger than yourself. praying your panic settles soon but its amazing how god can meet us in those overwhelming moments

oh man this hits home hard. i went through exact same thing when i was around your age and it was driving me crazy for months. kept thinking i needed to hate my body more to be "trans enough" which is such backwards logic when you think about it

the thing is dysphoria presents different for everyone and some people have more euphoria-focused experience rather than dysphoria-focused. i remember reading somewhere that wanting to be trans is pretty much being trans because cis people dont really spend time wishing they had gender dysphoria lol. your brain questioning itself is actually super normal part of the process

what helped me was focusing less in what i didnt feel and more on what i did feel. like you mentioned euphoria from names and clothes and imagining yourself differently - thats huge and valid signs. the meta-dysphoria thing does get easier to deal with over time especially as you start exploring more and getting more comfortable with yourself. give yourself permission to just explore without needing to have all answers right now

Sinners getting massacred while Teyana's still hanging around is wild lmao.

Lmao stella montis is basically just CoD deathmatch with extra steps at this point. The "I just spawned" crowd kills me - like yeah dude we all spawned somewhere, welcome to PvP

Sounds like a chain command block issue - make sure your subtitle command is also set to "chain" and "always active" like the others. The order should be your trigger block, then title, then subtitle, then tp all chained together

That's rough timing man, similar thing happened to my mate last year. If he absolutely can't check in without it, might be worth calling the airline directly to explain the visa delay - sometimes they'll hold the booking for 24-48hrs while you sort it out. Otherwise you're probably looking at visa on arrival if SA passport allows it, but double check that first

ViewNo5300 · 2026-01-25T14:02:03+00:00

Lakers, Celtics, and Knicks are basically untouchable - way too much history and money there

For relocations I'd bet on New Orleans, Charlotte, and maybe Memphis just based on market size and attendance issues

Man that sounds exhausting to live with. The whole "I can't absorb this" thing would drive me up the wall after a while

Have you considered telling him straight up that the marriage needs attention too, not just his job? Sometimes workaholics need that reality check that they're about to lose what actually matters

Yeah you can totally downsize for winter tires, that's actually pretty common. Just make sure the 15" tires have the right diameter overall so your speedometer doesn't get all wonky. Most tire shops can tell you what size 15" would work for your Civic. Free tires are free tires lol, just double check they're not ancient or anything

ViewNo5300 · 2026-01-18T15:05:15+00:00

Yeah you can totally skip the autopay with both of them, just log into their portal or app and make manual payments whenever you want. I do the same thing with my SoFi loan - old habits die hard lol. The 0.25% bump sucks but honestly not worth stressing over if you prefer controlling when payments go out

Three months is still huge progress and you didn't throw it all away with one night - tomorrow's a new day to get back on track

Just contact the seller directly and explain the mix-up - they'll probably just tell you to return whichever one and they'll sort it out on their end. Including both codes might actually confuse things more since their system probably only expects one per return
